Trayvon Bromell delivered a mind-blowing 9.84 seconds run at the Rome Diamond League classic last Friday, but is not resting on his laurels amid stiff competition from the likes of Kishane Thompson, Noah Lyles and Akani Simbine.
A rejuvenated Trayvon Bromell has revealed what he will be working on in order to get better following his commanding 9.84 second world leading display in the 100 meters at the Rome Diamond League last Friday.
Bromell’s dominance in Rome was clear. Emmanuel Eseme of Cameroon trailed behind in second at 9.99, while Kenya’s Ferdinand Omanyala secured third in 10.01. 2022 world champion Fred Kerley faded midway and settled for fifth in 10.06—far off his usual standard.
Speaking after the race, Bromell admitted he was taken aback by the lack of pressure from his competitors despite sharing the stage with global heavyweights.

Lesson Learned from Tokyo: Never Get Comfortable
)
"I really didn't feel where the competition went,” Bromell said candidly.
Reflecting on his journey, Bromell drew on lessons from the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, where overconfidence cost him dearly.
“My biggest thing is that I never count nobody out. Like I said, I could be honest and up front with y'all—like 2021, that was me second guessing, thinking, 'Oh, you know, nobody's going to be able to beat me. I'm the fastest guy.'
“And I'm never going to have that mindset going into a race again, because you never know how somebody is feeling that day. So my big thing is: execute it.”
The 2015 World Championship bronze medallist emphasized that 2021 shifted his mindset permanently:
"2021 taught me a lot. I'm not going to think that I'm the best guy out there. I'm just going to go out there and prove it going into the line, and that’s why I just got to keep my head in."
Bromell Focused on Technical Gains After Injury Comeback
)
Even as Bromell delivered a world-leading performance, the sprint scene remains ultra-competitive. In Jamaica, Kishane Thompson—the reigning Olympic silver medalist—delivered a scorching win at the Racers Grand Prix. With a quick start and a dominant finish, Thompson clocked a season’s best of 9.88 seconds, while Oblique Seville stormed to second in 9.97.
Knowing what lies ahead, Bromell remains grounded and focused on sharpening his own execution, particularly his starts—something he’s had to manage carefully due to recent injury.
"It's crazy, ’cause we haven't been able to do a lot of block starts. Like I said, I got hurt indoors—had a little oblique strain in my side—so it was kind of hard to do sprints. So, 350s, 250s, doing all those things and just coming out in the 100 and just seeing where we’re at.
“I know my coach is happy. He knows that I’m a person that looks at everything. So I’m going to go and study the film, we’re going to sit down and talk, and see where we go from there."
With the Tokyo World Championships on the horizon and a deep field of elite sprinters, Bromell knows that staying humble, healthy, and hungry may be his biggest edge yet.
